    Investigations are underway after four suspicious church fires at Masterton overnight

    22 February 2025
    Emergency crews were called to the blazes at around 4:30 this morning - with damage ranging from moderate to significant.

    Police checked other churches in the town, and found evidence to suggest three further churches were targeted - but didn't catch alight.

    Officers remain at the scene of the fires, and are carrying out reassurance patrols, including in nearby towns Featherston and Carterton.
